Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Cedar Lake who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
